Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. to establish a safe level: · Start your volume control at a low setting. ⷠSlowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level: · set the dial and leave it there. Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future.

If the speakers stop emitting noise when receiving too large a signal, turn the volume down on the receiver and wait a few seconds. When the subwoofer is combined with satellite speakers in a total system, the sound characteristics produced are like those shown in the accompanying graph, depicting the enhancement of the bass frequencies. This is particularly effective for reproducing ground rumbles and other deep sound effects found in movies. When there is no (or only very weak) input signal for a period of about ten minutes, the power mode automatically changes to standby (power indicator lights red).
